Chapter 245: It's easier said than done

The yellowed autumn leaves are quiet and beautiful, and the city of Qiu'an is peaceful.

With His Royal Highness King Jing gaining a foothold, Qiu'an City was fortunate to maintain peace.

The current city lord is the leader of the horse thieves who once kidnapped Yunluo and Jian Qi, and a subordinate of the general's mansion.

After the horse thieves who Yunluo had worked so hard to gather were selected for the second time and mixed into King Jing's army, this person with a different background from several other people was singled out by Pei Zhen.

It was also a helpless move for him to take the rest of the old people of the General's Mansion to sit in the relatively safe Qiu'an City.

Pei Zhen has too few people on his hands.

Chi Xuance and Cui Xian need to be by Pei Zhen's side at all times, among Fu Tianqi, Mei Ziqing, Jian Qi, and Guan Youyou, the one who knows the most about government affairs is actually Guan Youyou, after all, she still has experience in managing a village for her grandfather.

This alone made Chi Xuance and Pei Zhen smile bitterly.

Fortunately, the attached Bo Mushi was still sensible, and took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Manniu City to sit in the town, prepare for battle, and the soldiers pointed directly at Pei and Mu, two more than ten cities under Yue.

Pei Zhen said that he moved out of Yunluo's face, so he asked the manager to go to Crescent City and help manage it for the time being.

Guan Youyou went, and Jian Qi naturally followed.

Before leaving, Jian Qi also took the initiative to invite Mei Ziqing to come along, according to his words, there is nothing to learn more.

Mei Ziqing and Guan Youyou looked at this goods suspiciously, could it be that the people in the Divine Book Sword Furnace are all such masochists?

Mei Ziqing didn't follow him to Crescent City in the end, nor did he go to Youyun City to chase Yunluo to find a fight, because he found a new playmate.

At the invitation of Pei Zhen, after drawing nearly 10,000 brute force talismans and divine talismans for backup, the soul was exhausted several times, and the drowsy Fu Tianqi realm inexplicably began to soar, and quickly broke through from the lower grade of the divine artistic conception to the lower grade of the Tongxuan realm.

The true yuan has risen sharply, the combat power has soared, and the attainments of the Fu Dao have inexplicably reached a higher level.

So, the elated Fu Tianqi secretly found Mei Ziqing who had always wanted to fight one day.

Since that day, in the city lord's mansion of Fengyang City, there have been two afterimages flashing from time to time, one white and one black, and when Fu Tianqi occasionally uses a sword rune, Mei Ziqing is as excited as if he has eaten the medicine in the Qinglou.

Listening to the sound of blade strikes from time to time, Cui Xian shook his head and sighed, there is such a group of young demons, and it is not good for him to refuse to obey the old age.

Zheng Xuan and his entourage, through layers of investigation, were finally able to enter Qiu'an City, but they did not go straight to the City Lord's Mansion, but quietly walked along the market, and talked to some vendors from time to time.

Seeing the peaceful and orderly market, with a stable and happy look on the faces of the residents, Zheng Xuan and Deng Qing quietly exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

A rush of footsteps sounded on the wooden stairs of the restaurant, and a team of sergeants quickly surrounded Zheng Xuan and the four, and one of the leaders said coldly: "You four, what are you doing!"

Zheng Xuan calmly put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the sergeant who led the team, "Master Jun, the four of us have a meal here, which royal law did we violate?"

"Huh, eat?

It's a conspiracy to do evil, and many people have reported to us, you four are sneaky, wandering around, and asking about His Royal Highness King Jing everywhere, and you obviously want to do wrong!"

The sergeant looked at Zheng Xuan and them proudly, "I didn't expect it, in our city, there are many eyeliners of His Highness, and many of the people you have asked have followed His Highness to the battlefield!"

Zheng Xuan suddenly realized, "So that's the case." Okay, let's admit it and go to the city lord's mansion with you. ”

The two relatives who had returned to him were about to speak, but they were stopped by Deng Qing with a look.

Although the sergeant was surprised, he still ordered the four to be tied up and escorted to the city lord's mansion, and at the same time clenched his fists around, "Brothers, there is hard work. ”

There were shouts all around, "Catch the spies, you should do it!"

"Whoever can't get along with His Royal Highness King Jing can't get along with us!"

Zheng Xuan and Deng Qing looked at each other and smiled again, but they were immediately kicked by the sergeant behind them, "There is still a smile, hurry up, wait and cry for a while!"

In the city lord's mansion, Jiao Lin was looking at all kinds of information in Qiu'an City, although he had experience in managing a city, but it was relying on the huge power and mature model of the General's Mansion, and now he had to start over with a few former generals and straighten out the governance of the entire city, which was not a simple matter.

Moreover, since His Royal Highness King Jing conquered the three cities and temporarily suspended the army, this spy assassin from all sides can also be called an endless stream of assassins, which is enough for the new city lord to be anxious.

"City Lord, the city defense army has caught four more spies!" a subordinate rushed in excitedly to report.

Jiao Lin put the information in his hand and said excitedly: "Four?"

The subordinate was equally excited, "Yes, I am already in the lobby." ”

"Take me there!"

"Be honest!" took two more kicks, and the two relatives in the lobby who followed Zheng Xuan and Deng Qing Qianli wanted to cry without tears.

"The lord of the city has arrived!" a voice shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked out from behind the lobby and sat down in the middle.

"Just these four?"

"Yes, city lord, we have received a report from our city patrol that these four people are sneaky, wandering around, and also inquiring about what happened after His Royal Highness King Jing arrived in the fiefdom. ”

Jiao Lin looked at the four people in the hall, "Do you four have anything to say?"

"Jiao Lin, born in the Tieyan Department of the Six Divisions of the Grassland, was a third-level subordinate official of the former General's Mansion, and the city lord of Baimu City. Zheng Xuan spoke softly.

Jiao Lin stood up suddenly, "Who are you?!"

Zheng Xuan took a step forward, the rope wrapped around his body quietly broke, and said with a smile: "Two years ago, Immortal City reported on work, and we met once. ”

Jiao Lin's gaze stared at Zheng Xuan's face, which was not particularly handsome, but also majestic and majestic, as if it felt familiar, and he couldn't remember it for a while.

Deng Qing suddenly spoke: "Guess big." ”

A hint of surprise suddenly appeared in Jiao Lin's eyes, and then instantly spread to the entire face.

He walked out quickly, bowed down in front of Zheng Xuan, and said in a trembling voice: "Subordinate...... Jiao Lin saw ...... Ever seen...... More than ** people!"

Zheng Xuan's expression was gloomy, he stretched out his hand to help him up, and said softly, "I've suffered." ”

With a gentle sentence, Jiao Lin was brought back to that unbearable memory, remembering the sudden collapse of the General's Mansion, the tragic death of his colleagues and family members, and the tragic situation of himself and others wandering around helplessly, the tall man burst into tears for a moment.

Zheng Xuan patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, the days will go on." ”

Jiao Lin nodded with a handful of snot and tears, and looked at the helpless sergeants around him, "What are you still doing in a daze, untie it!"

"I said did you have your brains caught in the door......" Jiao Lin was about to angrily scold these fools who actually kidnapped more than ** people, but Zheng Xuan raised his hand to stop, "Don't talk about them, they did a good job, really." ”

As he spoke, he looked at these trembling sergeants and said loudly: "Don't worry, do what you have to do, don't let go of any suspicious people because of timidity, your superiors, your city lords, including King Jing, will be the masters for you, because you are protecting the people of this city." ”

"Of course, in the process of law enforcement, it's better to be gentle, my butt still hurts!" Zheng Xuan said as he rubbed his back buttocks with a smile.

Relaxed laughter reverberated in the room.

Jiao Lin was greatly admired, others didn't know, but he knew that more than ** people were cultivators of the Knowing Destiny Realm, how could they be kicked and hurt by these ordinary soldiers.

In Qiu'an City, Zheng Xuan and the others didn't stay long, and went directly to Fengyang City.

Standing outside the city gate, Jiao Lin looked at their distant backs, with a happy smile on his face.

When he was resting halfway, one of the two relatives plucked up the courage to ask Deng Qing, "That green-eared adult, why don't you declare your identity and make that city lord's jaw drop again?"

Deng Qing glanced at him, "Do you know what I'm doing?"

Qin Sui shook his head, Deng Qing didn't explain, but said with a smile: "The more a person knows, the more he doesn't want others to know how much he knows, and sometimes he doesn't even want to know so much, but he can't know so much." ”

Looking at the ignorant expressions of the two, Deng Qing snorted lightly, "Your name is Hu Wan, your name is Liu Quan, one is a companion that Shi Youde bought when he was fifteen years old, and the other is a slave of the Ma family. ”

Ignoring the rightful horror of the two, Deng Qing looked in the direction of Fengyang City, and said silently in his heart: "Xiaotown, I still know a lot, I hope I can help you." ”

----------------------

At the same time that Xue Lu presided over the meeting of the painting of ashes, the atmosphere in the lobby of the Anzhou City Lord's Mansion was solemn.

All irrelevant personnel were dismissed, even the personal soldiers of each of the leading generals.

In the hall with the door closed, almost all the current senior generals of the Northern Army sat down.

If these people are served in a pot, this battle, Da Duan will not want to win.

Therefore, when the generals who attended the meeting saw this formation, they were all wondering why the marshal took such a risk and summoned everyone over.

Soon, Humphrey solved it for them

Confused.

Behind him, a large, finely drawn map of the Big-End Territory rose.

Han Feilong held a slender wooden stick, drew a long line on the border of Ansai Prefecture in the Northern Yuan, and then pointed at the position pointing to Yinyang Pass, "Yuan Emperor Xue Lu led hundreds of thousands of troops to array on the border of Ansai Prefecture, and the main force of his army was about 80,000 people, all assembled at Yinyang Pass. Our northern army spread out from Anju to both flanks, firmly blocking the other side's way, at least so far, it has been effective. ”

His tone suddenly turned lower, and the wooden stick moved to the west, knocking on the position of Qiuyan Pass, "However, Xue Jun, the great prince of Beiyuan, with tens of thousands of Xianbei iron horsemen, has already broken through Qiuyan Pass and attacked Dangzhou, according to the time of intelligence, Shuozhou should have been broken through now." ”

"Impossible!" a general blurted out, and immediately realized that this was not in his own army, and quickly slowed down his tone, "Dashuai, could it be that the information is wrong, doesn't it mean that Wu Ti is in Yinyang Pass?"

Based on their understanding of the military and political affairs of Beiyuan, where Wu Ti is, it means where the Xianbei Iron Cavalry is, after all, these soldiers do not belong to the Yuan Emperor, but to various tribes, even if the Yuan Emperor wants to be dispatched, it must pass through the masters of these tribes.

Han Feilong didn't answer his question directly, but sighed, "You see, we were all deceived by Xue Lu in this way. ”

The wooden stick in his hand tapped the map, and Han Feilong's tone was low, "No matter what method Xue Lu used to get Wu Ti to agree to hand over the Xianbei Iron Horse to Xue Jun, but this is the case, we can't pin our hopes on this bad news is fake, but we should think of a way to deal with it." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and you can't see anything except the thick melancholy in each other's eyes.

After a moment of silence, someone finally spoke, "The lesser of two evils, for the sake of today's plan, the only way to defend the sky is to defend the heavens, and the army is still blocking the main force of Beiyuan." ”

As soon as the words came out, the crowd was indignant.

"What the hell do you mean?"

"Your uncle, isn't the northwest my Daduan territory?"

"My generation of soldiers protects their families and defends the country, how can they let the huge land fall away!"

"Just like you, what kind of army are you going to be the lord of an army, go home and hide in your wife's bed!

Many generals, especially several whose hometowns are in the northwest, naturally cannot agree with such a way, looking at Du Ruoyan who proposed, their eyes breathing fire.

Du Ruoyan's face was calm, but he was bitter in his heart.

Today, Han Feilong called him and Huang Daxing first, and asked them to take the initiative to give up the strategy of the northwest and be this villain.

He was full of reluctance, but he had to do it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the handsome man is still there, don't be impatient. Huang Daxing hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade.

Everyone looked up at Han Feilong, who was not good-looking, and then shut up and sat down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's put aside everything else, from the perspective of the war situation, if we divide the troops to rescue, how to divide them, you must know that at present, the troops in the north who can fight, our northern army has accounted for the majority. If yes, I mean if yes, if the troops are not divided, how should this battle be fought?" Huang Daxing's proposal was held by Lao Cheng

heavy, attracting many people to nod slowly.

A dark-skinned general stood up, "Marshal, I am willing to lead the soldiers and horses under my command and rush to the northwest to rescue." ”

Han Feilong stared at him, "If I'm not mistaken, you have 20,000 soldiers and horses under your command. ”

"Handsome and good memory. ”

"Can you defeat at least 40,000 Xianbei Iron Horsemen in the wild?"

The swarthy general's face was stunned, and he wanted to say something big, but everyone here was a person who knew the soldiers, so he had to say, "No." But the commander, you can send me more troops. ”

Han Feilong remained silent, "How much do you want?"

The general hesitated for a long time and stretched out his finger and gestured a number, which was immediately exchanged for the sneer of almost everyone in the field.

"I said Wu Tieniu, you don't have anything wrong with your brain, right? Lao Tzu allocated 80,000 people to you, can you still keep this middle line?" Han Feilong almost laughed angrily.

The general known as Wu Tieniu suddenly became anxious, "Marshal, what we are good at is not field warfare, I can defend the city, 20,000 soldiers and horses are enough!"

Han Feilong simply didn't bother to pay attention to him, and turned to look at the map.

A colleague beside him hurriedly pulled Wu Tieniu's sleeve, "Hurry up and sit down, the army has entered Qiuyan Pass, where do you want to fight, what city are you based." ”

A thought arose in everyone's hearts, the northwest land, I'm afraid it can't be saved.

Han Feilong turned around, "I have made up my mind, the northern army will be conquered one soldier at a time, and make every effort to defend the main force of the northern abyss, as for the northwest, I personally suggest that reinforcements be drawn from various local armies, starting from Tongtian Pass, strengthening the garrison step by step, and at the same time fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, and the counties and counties will defend the lonely city!"

His tone was cold, "The news of the loss of the northwest is strictly controlled by all armies, and at the same time, the morale of the army is adjusted in time. At this very juncture, if there is a violator of yang and yin, this handsome will not be spared!"

Seeing that there were still people in the field with angry faces, Han Feilong smashed his fist on the desk, leaned forward, full of might, and almost roared: "The power of the Northern Abyss is pouring the country, how can it be an ordinary robbery." Everyone, remember, this is a national war!! we can't afford to lose, because if we lose, we will lose the country!!"

He stretched out his finger, pointed at everyone in the field in turn, and finally nodded himself, "At that time, you and I will all be slaves of the country!"
